Abstract

Zusammenfassung Insbesondere bei vertraglich-fixierten Kundenbeziehungen ist oftmals ein nicht unerheblicher A nteil der Kundenbasis unprofitabel und liefert somit einen negativen Wertbeitrag zum Gesamtdeckungsbeitrag des U nternehmens. D ieses Kundensegment erfordert ein spezielles M anagement–insbesondere wenn davon auszugehen ist, dass diese Kunden auch in der Zukunft nicht in die Gewinnzone geführt werden können. D ie einzelnen M aßnahmen zur Entbindung unprofitabler Kunden (so genanntes „Demarketing“) variieren dabei nach dem gewünschten A ktivitätslevel des U nternehmens (aktiv versus passiv) und dem angestrebten Beendigungsgrad. Es zeigt sich, dass in der Praxis insbesondere D emarketing-Strategien im Bereich der Produkt- und Preispolitik eingesetzt werden.
